Nova | Plume (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Battle-Scarred is the most weathered look of Nova | Plume, with the feather pattern broken by wide worn patches. The brown and copper base still holds the shotgun together visually, giving it the look of an old, much-used hunting gun. This is the cheapest way to get the skin into the inventory.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver is covered with overlapping brown feathers with fine light edges and faint cool accents between them. The pump carries long ribbed feather vanes in copper with cream streaks, and the magazine tube end repeats the copper and cream rings.

The barrel and pump are heavily worn, with only fragments of the feather vanes left. The receiver shows broad patches where the pattern has gone. The stock is scratched along its edges and parts of its surface, but the brown wood tone keeps it coherent. In game the skin reads as an old, battered brown shotgun.

Battle-Scarred wear: float 0.45–0.8

The whole float range of Nova | Plume is 0–0.8; Battle-Scarred takes the 0.45–0.8 segment (44% of the scale). The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in brown, gold, copper or cream match the feather artwork, and holo or gold variants echo the light highlights. Placing them on the receiver side keeps the pump feathers visible, and nature or bird motifs fit the theme.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low floats in Field-Tested keep the pump noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle and the pump ridges first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the gun.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as bright colours can clash with the earthy palette.
• If you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, confirm the type in the item name before buying.
